The purpose of this report is to present
the findings from a study on the Economic Empowerment of
Women through Resilient Agriculture Supply Chains: A
Geospatial and temporal Analysis in Southwestern Bangladesh.
Recognizing that a common weakness in transport corridors
has been the lack of participation and limited benefits
accruing to the communities through which a corridor passes,
World Bank investments in transport infrastructure are
increasingly complemented by activities that facilitate the
competitiveness of micro and small enterprises and economic
opportunities for women and other disadvantaged people and
integrate gender-responsiveness into trade facilitation and
logistics initiatives. This geospatial and temporal value
chain analysis in southwestern Bangladesh adopts a five-step
methodology which overlays economic and initial enterprise
analysis along this transport corridor, analyzes human
capital (with particular focus on women) and the labor force
along transport corridors, considers risk management in the
value chain analysis, evaluates the economic structure of a
value chain, and restructures the opportunities and gaps in
areas where agglomerated economic activities were
identified. The report includes a total of four components:
chapter one, Identification and characterization of
agricultural products that are representative of women
driven, small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). Chapter two, a
geographical diagnosis of the population’s sociodemographic
and infrastructure conditions, and identification of
constraints and opportunities regarding women-driven SMEs.
Chapter three, value chain analysis for three agriculture
products (fisheries, floriculture, and dairy) selected from
chapter one. Analyses are represented in two formats: a)
diagrams, and b) visualizations of spatial distribution.
Chapter four, economic agglomeration and barriers for
women-driven SME participation. |
